Cabinet considered a report seeking approval to award the contract for a long term flexible demand responsive transport contract from 15th July 2013 until 14th July 2018. The total value of the contract was £2,300,208 over 5 years with the option to extend the contract for a further 2 years.

 

The contract would replace two interim flexible transport contracts that had been in place since spring last year following the withdrawal of ‘dial a ride’ services in the Borough.
